6 AN or 8AN fuel line from stock tank to rail
im going to run braided hose from the stock banjo fitting hole (not using the banjo fitting tho) on top of the stock tank all the way to the rail. im going to keep a 255lph in the tank and use a in-line filter Aeromotive or Paxton. but what size line should i run 6-8AN. im going for about 600whp

Re: 6 AN or 8AN fuel line from stock tank to rail (1QwIkEf)
I would run -8 an from ur fuel pump and use the feed line for return. When I did my fuel system I notice that the feed line from pump is smaller than the rest of line. I changed the rubber part of the line with bigger hose. It wont have pressure cause u r only using for return. Let me know if this helps or I could try to explain it better.

I guess it would be a little over kill for just a walbro pump. I used -10an Feed and -8an Return on my car then again i use 2 Aeromotive A1000 pumps

Make sure u take the rubber part off and use regular fuel hose.

I ran -8 feed and -6 return. If you pull off the plastic "guide" that runs under the car you can cut the plastic parts out and still run the braided through it along side the brake lines. That's what I did anyway.
Also, if you want to get fancy(like I did ) you can eliminate the whole banjo system and weld a -8 and -6 steel bung right to the top of the sending unit. Then just run 2 low pro 90's off of that. The stock cover doesn't fit without mods but other than that it works great. I will snap a pic tomorrow.

Ah, that sucks Didnt' know that. Is it even legal for nhra with the lines inside the car? 4thgens suck. j/k
Only thing I don't like about a stainless braided setup is the cost Adds up fast..
I think boosted-hybrid said the -8 feed -6 return with a walbro 255hp is good to ~600whp.

i made 600hp with a holley 255 and all stock lines feed and return.i do have a rail and regualtor too.that was about all she would go though jeff evans said it would start to drop off if we pushed it anymore.so now i sumped the tank and went with an eliminator pump(areomotive) and -10 fed and -6 return.

Re: 6 AN or 8AN fuel line from stock tank to rail (1QwIkEf)
Im a little confused on running the feed line as the return line? So you would only have one fuel line running up front? Sorry im just not seeing how this would work

I understand that so basically just cap the other side of the fuel rail and just have the one line running to the rail with no return from the other side?

You have to have a return. You use -8an for feed and stock feed for return which is close to -6 an.
